Aria

My eyes slowly opened, adjusting to the brightness of wherever I was. I looked up, and saw a high ceiling, beautifully decorated which seemed quite familiar. I looked around, and for a moment it seemed I had a temporary memory loss before it dawned on me. I was still in Avarish, and this was the room I shared with Lucian.

As if on cue, I recalled everything. From running off to the stable, to climbing the deranged horse that nearly killed me. I remembered seeing my life flash before me, shutting my eyes and praying to the goddess. I remember the horse going still and turning to stone, and the strange gazes I received from the men, Riven, Varaeys and Kaiden!

The most prominent scene was Kaiden carrying me like I weigh nothing. And the last thing I remembered, the world turned black and here I was.

I sat up immediately, and it was then I noticed I wasn't alone. There was a chair beside the bed, and in it sat the sleeping Kaiden. I sucked in my breath as my eyes trailed from his shu

  • Scent of Betrayal   MIXED PRIORITIES

    AriaKaiden walked towards us, his figure imposing. He had that expressionless look on his face, where one couldn't tell what he was thinking.He had his brows raised at Brienne, who sat on my bed. I could tell that he was suspicious, and I needed to do something fast.“When did you start getting along with her?” He said casually, giving Brienne an indifferent look like he didn't know her.Wow. What a great actor.“Why are you here Kaiden?” I asked instead, crossing my arms.“Why am I here?” He repeated, chuckling. “What do mates do in each other’s room?”My face flushed and I stared at him in disbelief. What was he playing at this time? Brienne rose up, her head slightly bowed.“Welcome back alpha, I’ll give you both privacy.” She made to leave, acting all subservient.“I’ve heard rumours on how you rejected Brienne, and all of a sudden you both are getting along?” Kaiden had no intention of letting his suspicions slide as he pulled the chair from the table side, and made himself co

  • Scent of Betrayal   LETTER FROM AVARISH

    AriaI unsealed the letter and began reading its content. It was from Avarish, and there was only one person I knew there—Varaeys.“What if the letter is poisoned, and that bird entered here with some kind of sorcerer?” Brienne frowned.“Don't worry, it's not.” I smiled as I went through the contents of the letter.“Dear Aria,I hope this letter reaches you in good will. I won't bother to ask about your wellbeing, because I know your gray eyed husband is doing quite well, protecting you. I know you're already versed with the incident that led to that horse becoming a stone. It's your work, your powers are showing up after being dormant for years. I'm already working towards who you’d meet to clear all your confusions. News of your heritage has been leaked, and many are on the search for you. It seemed one of my men had snitched despite my trying to wipe their memories. But the good news is, the search is quite mixed up as they don't know the gender yet, and false rumours has also been

  • Scent of Betrayal   MISSION AT HAND

    AriaI hadn't seen Kaiden since the past few days after the marking incident. The thought of it still leaves my face hot. The mark was fading, and I had to always wrap a scarf to avoid the sneaky spies from noticing anything.Kaiden was right, I began to notice strange behaviours from some maids and guards in the tower. It felt like I was being watched since the marking incident. Brienne on the other hand, stuck around me like a fly would do with a corpse. Despite how petite she was, the unwelcoming scowl on her face was enough to put anyone out from getting close to me. She was more like a bodyguard.I picked up the scroll on which I had written the list of things I wanted to do. Becoming stronger, avenging grandma, getting my wolf and scent back, taking over Flynn’s pack. Everything concerning my Venegan relation, I tried to put it out, not that I wasn't curious. If anything, my curiosity only grew but it seemed knowing more would cause me more harm than good.But most importantly,

  • Scent of Betrayal   CURE TO BLOODLUST

    Kaiden My uncle had always told tales of how it is said that the Venegans, possess a great deal of power that could literally do anything. Some had powers that focused only on one thing, whilst the brutal ones had numerous powers. The Darkhaven family belonged to a long blood line of blood sucker werewolves. My father Jace Darkhaven had been able to guide this secret for many years before he was killed in the war. Well, it wasn't quite much of a secret.During the time of the war after my father had been labelled a traitor and declared a rogue, Jaime was nowhere to be found. It was said that he was out with one of his lovers. “And how are you going to get one? The last time I checked, they were wiped out during Clarke's madness.” Jaime believed that too, but for him to mention a Venegan as the solution to his aging, he must have definitely caught a whiff of something.“I have lived for many years, even before your mother was born. I have crossed paths with the Venegans, or should

  • Scent of Betrayal   ORIGINS I

    KaidenI was right, Aria wouldn't agree to it so easily even though she had initiated before. The way she hotly spoke, showed how detested she was by the thought of it. Over her dead body, she had said.Well, I didn't expect much from anyone. Rejection was something I had faced more than I could count when I was younger, it wasn't only the bond between Piper but in other ways too. But now, things have changed. Rejection wasn't an option, it was either I get it or the other way round. Call me twisted, but the world had shown me how cruel it could be if one wasn't strong enough, or up to the task of survival in all aspects.“I’ll do it.” She had said, keeping a blank face.I didn't know why, but when it came to her, making decisions became difficult. I walked over, closing the distance between us.I could see the fear in her eyes as she avoided my gaze, but her lifted her chin, making our gaze meet.“For once, don't think of me as a monster.”Saying this would definitely put her off gu

  • Scent of Betrayal   MARKING II

    AriaI cursed underneath my breath, I shouldn't have said that. I was sure it hit a nerve, but Kaiden's face betrayed no emotions as he still maintained that expressionless look with a cunning smile.“Are you sure you would like that, over your dead body?” He raised a brow, “You wouldn't have much use if you were dead. Unless, I’d somehow find your ancestors, and get something in exchange for your corpse.”My jaw dropped as I watched him speak of my death again, the second time so casually. The first time he did that was back at Avarish, and now he was at it again.“Why do I feel like you really want me dead?” I crossed my arms.“I'm innocent here.” Kaiden raised both hands, “You were the one who mentioned that there was no way I’d mark you if you weren't dead. You said, and I quote ‘over your dead body.’”I sighed, it was pointless arguing with him as he seemed he would always win either way. But a day would surely come, and victory shall be mine. My body tingled with excitement at t
